Video: Scriabin Etude in Bbm
on: January 07, 2012, 09:57:52 PM
 Hi, this is my first post here. I'd like some feedback on this performance.
I should mention that I have been teaching myself to play piano for 3 and a half years, so don't expect anything remarkable or unique.

This was played on a digital piano.

Welcome, Mertez!
I enjoyed a lot your performance!
For a self-taught, you play very well, both from the technical and from the musical point of view..

Just one thing: since the piece is a bit ripetitive, yout can try to vary and  to nuance more the musical phrases, specially towards the end. Anyway  I'm a plain amateur: I hope someone more expert than me will give you a more articulated and useful advice.

Keep on, and good luck

Margherita

this is very nice playing, i hear some wonderful moments where your legato is coming together nicely and is so smooth (but give us more)!  i love scriabin so much and it was a joy to watch this. my only suggestion is to continue to explore places where you can either dial the accompanying chords back a bit to really let the heart tugging melody sing out, or just try to voice to it some more, this is one of those pieces where it can actually help to listen to both the horowitz version and the cello version for interpretivie and musical inspiration.

thanks for sharing, please keep it up and post more! :D

Thank you for your compliments and suggestions.:)
I am glad you enjoyed it.

 I recently finished the first movement of his Sonata No. 2. I will probably post a performance sometime in the future.  :)

Poems of Ecstasy – Scriabin’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street

The great early 20th-century composer Alexander Scriabin left us 74 published opuses, and several unpublished manuscripts, mainly from his teenage years – when he would never go to bed without first putting a copy of Chopin’s music under his pillow. All of these scores (220 pieces in total) can now be found on Piano Street’s Scriabin page. Read more
